Peanut Butter Chip Cupcakes Cupcake Ingredients

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

6 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup smooth all natural peanut butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup whole milk

Instructions


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine milk and vanilla in small bowl. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in bowl. Beat butter and sugars in mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and blend until smooth. Slowly mix in peanut butter. Add half the flour mixture and blend slowly. When fully incorporated, add milk mixture. Continue to blend slowly. Add remaining flour mixture and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Add chocolate chips and fold in by hand. Scoop into 12 lined baking cups and bake for about 22 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly touched and the edges are golden brown.

@jenpaq2011 I am sure she is (I don't have cable but there is only one Cupcake queen named Candace Nelson).

I need to try this? is it good?

[rickyesparza]

@wuzuphomeyg It is good. I love Peanut Butter but I couldn't eat them all and my family didn't finish eating them. But I would do them again. Especially the frosting. It was good. I went to the store Jo-Ann fabric and crafts and I used one of their 40 off coupons that you can get in the mail and email to buy a Wilton Cookies & Cream sprinkles topping jar so they can truly be a sprinkles cupcake, that made them tastes even more gooder. Maybe Michaels might also sell some Wilton sprinkles.

@rickyesparza YAH! i went to sprinkles in dallas texas and she was selling these!! they were sooo delicious!!

[rickyesparza]

@wuzuphomeyg I want to make this other Peanut Butter recipe that I also saw on the Live Well Network.

It looks so good too. The recipe and video is on LiveWellNetwork Good Cookin With Bruce Aidells Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pie by Annie Baker

[Lydiabaybee98]

@jenpaq2011 yep she is. they even say on the show

[8181Shannon]

These were very muffin like! I don't think this is her inside scoop recipe!

[XxXRawkkStarrXxX]

Eeeww, the lady just put her finger in the frosting, and licked it off, and then she touches the cupcakes.

Vanilla bake shop is way better but sprinkles has a unique light flavor.

They look more like muffins than cupcakes. And Sprinkles are so over-rated. There's many more cupcakes that are better than theirs.
